Hello! I think soon I'll finally be able to upload some runs but I was wondering if the program DxWnd (used to run Heart of Darkness in a window to make it easier to capture gameplay footage) is allowed? It doesn't impact gameplay as far as I can tell, it's just a compatibility program to make the game easier to record. https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/

Many games are run in DxWnd. I am no mod but have been thinking on running this game for a long time now XD. I say its allowed cuz its a well known program and doent so anything to the game itself. But again, im no moderator.

Hi there ! If it's not affect the game of course you can. And yes the game is horrible to setup for a live :'(

Awesome. Thank you so much. Yeah. DxWnd makes running the game live SO MUCH EASIER. I definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to play it. And I really don't know how you manage to play HoD live without it Alien. I know some people suggest peixoto's patch but that doesn't run it in a window like DxWnd does. Definitely the most convenient option.

I adapted the window of the game manually, by running the game, see the result, close the game, and make some tests with the size of the window ^^. Pretty long, but when you have the right size, i saved this configuration.

I remember back before I discovered DxWnd and I was doing that. Unfortunately tabbing out of HoD causes it to freeze in the top left corner in Windows 10 which I always forgot about until I went and did it forcing me to go into taskmanager and shut down the process and start all over again.
